Theodor Schwann believed that new plant cells were formed as a result of cell division, where a single parent cell divides to form two daughter cells. This process is known as cell mitosis, where each daughter cell inherits a complete set of genetic material from the parent cell.
Another name for Schwann cell is neurolemmocyte. Schwann cells are a type of glial cell that provides support and insulation to axons in the peripheral nervous system.
The Schwann cell forms a myelin sheath around the axon of the nerve.
Schleiden and Schwann came up with what is known as "The Theory of Cells" or "Cell Theory." The main principles of "Cell Theory" are:All cells come from cellsA cell is the basic unit of lifeAll organisms are made of cells
Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden are credited with the Cell Theory, which states that all living organisms are composed of cells. They concluded this in the 19th century based on their observations and experiments with plant and animal tissues.

The name of the theory that Schleiden and Schwann developed is the cell theory.
The German biologist Theodor Schwann (1810-1882) is considered a founder of the cell theory.
A schwann cell are supporting cells of the peripheral nervous system, they wrap themselves around nerve axons.
The Schwann cell forms a myelin sheath around the axon of the nerve.
Unlike oligodendrocytes Schwann cells can only myelinate one axon. But the number of Schwann cells it takes to myelinate an axon depends on the axon length as a Schwann cell only myelinates one area between pairs of Nodes of Ranvier. Think of it like a string of sausage. the sting is the axon, each sausage is where a single Schwann cell myelinates that axon, as stated the length will determine the total number of Schwann cells needed for myelination, but a Schwann cell can only myelinate one axon.
